justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to edit some track marks. No EQ or Noise Reduction was used. No remixing or remastering done. Even though the DVD offered a LPCM sound option the source was actually lossy. The waves tested 95% MPEG so I encoded them to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper.

Testament live...one of the best experiences a Thrash Metal Fan can have. They were always so spot on that the only thing that made Testament live any better was who they were packaged with. One of my favorite shows I've ever been at was Testament opening for Slayer, who was opening for Megadeth. Slayer played the entire Seasons in the Abyss album. Megadeth played the entire Rust in Peace album. Testament played a killer set which spanned their entire recording career. What a night, my 3 t-shirts from that night hang in my music room.

I ripped the waves using DVD Audio Extractor. I then use Goldwave to add a fade in/fade out at the beginning and end respectively. No EQ or Noise Reduction was used. No remixing or remastering done.

Killswitch Engage is another band from the New Wave Of American Metal Bands. The NWOAHM bands were a wave of American bands that surfaced around the same time after the wave of American Neo-Metal or Rap Metal bands. The NWOAM bands returned to the sound of Thrash Metal bands with a touch more Hardcore and influences from the Melodic Death Metal scene especially from At The Gates. If you listen to the first albums from most of those bands they are packed with At The Gates riffs as much as 2nd wave Thrash Metal bands lifted Metallica riffs. Killswitch Engage is one of my son Spider's favorite bands because they mix in a bit more melody than most from that scene.
